Announcements

Narrabeen All Nighter is a fun ultramarathon event that will be held overnight on New Year's Eve 31 December 2016.

Entries for this year's event are closing at 10am this Wednesday 30 November - options include a 12 hour race, 6pm marathon or midnight marathon.

If you are looking for a New Year's Party with a difference this event could be for you!

The closing date has been set early so that the organisers can order sufficient Tshirts and bibs. Ron and Horrie are accomplished runners themselves and understand that sometimes it is hard to commit. If you are a "definite maybe", let them know so they can factor you in. It is our understanding that they will accept late entries up to a capacity field, but no guarantees on one of the snazzy shirts!

The Albie Thomas Mile returns to The Crest in 2016, with Jordan Gusman set to headline a cracking field set to go sub-4 for the second consecutive year. Gusman will defend his 2015 title on 10 December, chasing a total prize pool of over $3,500.

As well as the men's Albie Thomas Mile and the headline women's 1,500m, the event will also feature a RunNSW Trackrun 3km event. Come along and try running on the track for the first time, before sticking around to watch some of the best athletes in Australia go head to head.

With bars, food, a Running Science pop-up store and iMove Physiotherapy massages for athletes, the Albie Thomas Mile will be a festival of running for those in attendance and the official ANSW Live Stream will bring the meet to those unable to experience it live.

Funding is available for interstate athletes to travel to the meet to compete in the headline events. To discuss travel assistance, please contact Matthew Whitbread on 0410 588 321 or matthewwhitbread@msn.com

2016-17 Summer Cross Country Program starts Wed 19 October 2016

Posted Thursday 8 Sep 2016 by Aaron Gentle

Summer Cross Country races will be held at Scarborough Park or Gannons Park on Wednesday evenings starting from Wed 19th October at 6:50pm. (We have become aware an incorrect earlier date has been unintentionally circulated by others elsewhere).

All are welcome to join the fun. You may have two trial runs and then for insurance need to show you are registered as a Community Runner, RunNSW, or any of the seasonal or full year options.

On Saturday 27 August we have our final club Winter Cross Country run for the season.

Please note that the 4km run will be FIRST at 2pm, followed by the 2km at 2:30pm
The 4 km is off scratch (group start) and is "nominate your time", with the winner being closest to their predicted time, so allow some time to pick your result beforehand. And then take off your watch.
The 2 km, which is the Carruthers Cup, is a 2 km dash with a handicap start.
Remember to bring your tags as both races will be tag timed to get the results quickly.

It's also our Presentation Day, for the winners of the various cycles, Super Series, and Club Championships.
If you won an individual or team medal at an ANSW event and haven't received it, please let Greg Breen know so you can receive it on Saturday or make other arrangements.

We will celebrate with a BBQ (thanks Mick from Plaza Quality Meats Riverwood) and afternoon tea, please bring a plate with some goodies to share.

Yes, the season has gone quickly! Put that Olympic and City to Surf motivation to good use in our Summer Cross Country series on Wednesday evenings from mid October to mid February. David and Kerry Edwards do an excellent job organising this, which sets you up well for the following season. We also have the Summer Track& Field season approaching, one of the highlights being the team Relays day in November.
